Avnet Technology Solutions has hired Kendall Neal as its new Australian marketing manager.

Neal’s appointment follows the promotion of Avnet’s former marketing director, Michael Costigan to become the director of marketing and business innovation for the Asian region.

Neal will focus on driving the development and implementation of marketing activities for the Australian business across its vendor and channel partners. She will also work together with Costigan to help enhance the visibility of the Avnet brand locally.

“Her role will be to work with our business units and also our vendor partners to make sure we have campaigns driving out their message to the channel,” Costigan said. “She’ll also be working with business partners to ensure all their campaign needs are being met.”

Prior to joining Avnet, Neal was the marketing manager at Connectivity Solutions and also worked at Allied Telesyn.

Earlier this month, Avnet boosted its security portfolio through a new distribution deal with Zylotech
